Were the ones with the runaway eyes Were the ones who can improvise is there doom in the hard situation? We believe in positive stipulations Log on. We are the young with the modern attitude breaking down the walls breaking all the rules Tomorrow comes and we might go away so we dont worry bout the price we pay We are the young oh! we are the young Every street is an arcade of dreams I go on downtown exploding at the seams with lights and sounds and a soul parade light and blue color promenade We are the young with the modern attitude breaking down the walls breaking all the rules Tomorrow comes and we might go away so we dont worry bout the price we pay Another way to gain control a brand new day to rock and roll Another way to gain control brand new day to rock and roll We are the young with the modern attitude breaking down the walls breaking all the rules Tomorrow comes and we might go away so we dont worry bout the price we pay We are the young
